On the artillery position of the Guangxi Army, mortars are still firing. The newly arrived mountain artillery has just been set up. The gunners are adjusting the gun positions. The loaders are loading the fuses for the artillery shells. The civilians are busy unloading the artillery shells from the carts. The voices of people
, the braying of animals was so loud, it was so lively.
The commander of the artillery battalion of the Guangxi Army was cursing and checking the artillery position on the position. The messenger behind him remained silent for fear of saying something wrong and being reprimanded by his superior. A porter ran past the battalion commander of the Guangxi Army carrying a box of artillery shells.
, accidentally stepped on a stone on the ground, slipped and fell to the ground, the shell box fell to the ground, split into pieces with a crash, and the shells were scattered on the ground. The Gui Army artillery battalion commander went up and kicked the carrier:
"Mother Diao, why are you panicking? Be careful, I will kill you."
Seeing that the porter was defeated, a Gui Army soldier next to him smiled and shouted: "Xia Laosan, did you secretly go to meet someone last night? Didn't you let a woman suck your legs weak?"
"
The Gui army soldiers immediately started laughing and laughing.
The unlucky porter got up from the ground and looked at the battalion commander in fear. Seeing that the battalion commander did not continue to kick him, he collected the scattered shells on the ground and ran cautiously towards his gun position.
The battalion commander of the Gui Army looked at the soldiers working nervously and shouted loudly: "Brothers, hurry up, the red bandits on the mountain can't hold on any longer. As soon as our cannon fires, they will fight with the red bandits who were guarding here before."
Like the bandits, their blood and flesh are flying everywhere, and they will be defeated. When the time comes, I will ask the superior to ask for credit for the brothers, and ask the superior to give everyone a white flower. If anyone is lazy and does not work hard, let the red bandits go, delaying the brothers' harvest.
Reward, if I don't say anything, the gun in my hand will talk to you."
A soldier of the Guangxi Army shouted: "Sir, can you give up Dayang and reward the brothers with a female Red Bandit? I heard that the female Red Bandits captured by the infantry brothers are all foreign students, very cute and well-behaved."
The battalion commander of Guijun laughed and scolded: "You son of a bitch, I'm trying to trick you. You look like a loser with no meat on your body. You only want to do good things. I don't know what a female gangster looks like. Is it your turn? Hurry up and do it."
Live, wait until the red bandits are eliminated, and receive the reward, what kind of woman doesn't have it?"
The soldiers responded with a roar. The Guijun mountain artillery position was busy again.
Liu Yimin crouched in the woods 500 meters away from the Gui Army's artillery position. After careful observation, he found that the Gui Army was really well-trained. In front of the artillery position was an infantry protection position, with sentries on all sides. Patrols walked by from time to time. He thought
It is difficult to walk from the front to the artillery position, let alone a frontal attack. However, because there are hills behind the artillery position, the Gui army only set up four sentries. Liu Yimin said in his heart that this was simply a sneak attack. He turned his head
Said to Wang Dahu: "You lead the soldiers to ambush here, and I will blow up the cannons. When I come back later, if there are enemies chasing me, you will cover me. If I do not rush out after the cannonballs explode, you will move immediately."
"
Wang Dahu said: "No, you are a new soldier and you are educated. We cannot let you take risks. The Red Army does not have such rules. If you want to go, I will go too."
Liu Yimin said: "You have a Fujian accent and you reveal your secrets when you open your mouth. If an accident happens, the plan will be ruined. Stop arguing. I will go and you will cover."
Wang Dahu said: "You don't know Cantonese either." Liu Yimin opened his mouth and said something like "disgraceful" to Na Ma. Wang Dahu thought for a while and said: "Okay. You go, but you must come back. I will always wait for you here."
Liu Yimin said: "Don't worry, I'm wearing the military uniform of the Gui Army, and I know the password of the Gui Army from the prisoners. Nothing will happen." After saying that, he bent down and ran forward, and started to crawl when he was 300 meters away from the enemy artillery position.
Advancing forward, he stopped when he was only 100 meters away from the sentry. He observed and confirmed that he was not discovered. Then, using the cover of trees and terrain, he sneaked forward another 50 meters, stood up and walked straight towards the Gui Army sentry.
"Stop!" the cry was accompanied by the sound of the gun bolt being pulled.
"What are you shouting for? Don't you know me?" Liu Yimin answered with a Guangxi accent and walked forward.
"Password?"
"Suppress the Communists. Return the order?"
"Destroy the bandits. It's an infantry brother!"
It seems that what the prisoners told is the truth. The command of the Gui Army is really to suppress the Communists and destroy the bandits. Since the command is correct, then the Gui Army on the opposite side must be the 44th Division and the 24th Division. This is the head unit of the Gui Army, and its combat effectiveness is unparalleled during the Republic of China.
They all belong to the first-class main force in the national army. Thinking of what later generations saw in the memoirs of revolutionary predecessors, "Guangxi monkeys are the Gui army, as fierce as tigers and as ruthless as wolves." Liu Yimin couldn't help but feel heroic. Since God has given
I have traveled through time, so what are these warlord troops that will eventually be swept into the trash can of history by our army? Thinking of this, Liu Yimin shouted loudly at the Gui Army sentry:
"What infantry brother? Open your eyes and take a good look. I'm from the artillery battalion."
While he was talking, Liu Yimin had already arrived in front of the sentry. He originally wanted to kill the sentry directly, but when he glanced around, he found that several other sentries were looking here, so he had to continue walking forward. Who knew that this sentry was very alert, and he looked at Liu Yimin's back.
He was carrying a rifle, his waist was full of grenades, and he was holding a shell gun in his hand. He didn't feel like he was from a heavy artillery camp. With his gun horizontal, he blocked Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin pulled the sentry's gun, glared and shouted: "What are you doing, do you want to be beaten?" After saying that, he reached out and picked up the sentry's collar and walked forward, "Let's go to your commander!"
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" The three nearby sentries ran over with guns in hand. Liu Yimin thought to himself, good, so as not to be blocked by sentries when he ran away for a while. So he shouted directly: "Brothers,
Come here to comment, this bitch dares to bully our artillery camp people, I want to take him to see the commander!"
In the old army, soldiers often fought in groups. Some troops even regarded fighting among soldiers as an auxiliary means of military training. Even a relatively well-disciplined unit like the Gui Army was not exempt from this practice. Liu Yimin, who came from a later generation and studied war history carefully,
Naturally, he knew these bad habits very well. The other three sentries knew even better. They thought that their brother was being bullied, so they shouted and surrounded him. Liu Yimin laughed and shouted, "Don't you want to fight?", but his left hand directly
He grabbed one sentry's head and hit it hard against the other's head, and the result was immediately settled. Just as the other two were about to grab fire, Liu Yimin swung the shell gun in his right hand twice, hitting the heads of these two guys and causing blood to flow out.
, He couldn't live even after seeing it. Liu Yimin held the bodies of the four sentries with guns to prevent them from falling to the ground. The Gui army in the distance saw it and thought that the four sentries were smoking together, so no one paid attention.
After dealing with the sentry, Liu Yimin walked swaggering towards the artillery position. He was only a few dozen meters away and soon arrived. Liu Yimin saw that a row of 18 mountain cannons had all been set up, with their muzzles facing the Red Army position, and were preparing for test firing. Liu Yimin
If you look closely, you will see that they are all old-fashioned Forbes mountain cannons, which are exactly the same as the mountain cannons equipped by the national army during the Republic of China that were seen on military websites later.
Although in the eyes of Liu Yimin, who comes from the 21st century, these cannons are crude and stupid, have short range, and have low power. They should have been sent to the army to visit and reminisce. But Liu Yimin, who is familiar with military history, knows that these cannons are treasures at this time and should be
They are most of the property of the main artillery force of the Guangxi Army. You must know that from the Beiyang Government to the Nationalist Government, the artillery equipment of the Chinese Army is getting worse year by year. In the early 1930s, many of the cannons equipped by the National Army were left over from the Beiyang period.
.Due to the lack of good steel and lack of funds, the factories that could manufacture cannons during the Beiyang government basically no longer produced the cannons. The Chinese army basically relied on imports of cannons. After the Chiang Kai-shek government came to power, it was busy with the civil war, the economy was never comfortable, and large funds were rarely used.
It cannot purchase heavy equipment such as cannons, nor does it have the funds to develop military production on a large scale. Therefore, even the elite Central Army's artillery construction cannot be compared with that of the Japanese army and other foreign powers. Many units of the national army only have artillery at the corps level, and at the division level.
Basically all artillery formations were abolished, and it would be nice to have some mortars. It was not until two years before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that the Chiang Kai-shek government woke up from its dream and began to carry out military cooperation with Germany and purchase weapons and equipment on a large scale.
Only firepower equipment has been greatly improved. It's a pity that these mountain cannons are gone. It would be great if the Red Army could capture and equip them!
Thinking about it, Liu Yimin knew that the fighter plane was fleeting and could not hesitate. The mortars next to him were still shelling non-stop. Seeing that the mountain cannon was about to be tested, he had to explode it immediately.
Liu Yimin quickly walked to a gun emplacement, took out four grenades and quickly tied them into a bundle. As soon as he pulled the string, he threw it onto the pile of shells with fuses installed, and then turned around and ran away at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
The Gui Army loader on the artillery position saw the gunner's command flag waving to prepare for a test firing, and hurriedly turned around to get the shells to load. When he turned around, he saw a bundle of grenades on the shells piled up with white smoke. He thought brightly and opened his mouth to shout
.He made the grenade explode faster, and with a bang, the grenade exploded.
The grenade detonated the fuse-equipped artillery shells on this artillery position, and then all the artillery shells on the artillery position exploded, causing the artillery shells on the surrounding artillery positions to explode. Finally, it detonated all the artillery shells on the position. The flying artillery shells not only destroyed the mountain artillery position.
The artillery, even the nearby mortar position suffered disaster. The position was full of flying shrapnel and broken limbs of the Gui Army soldiers. It was simply a living picture of hell on earth. The Gui Army artillery battalion and the protective artillery
The infantry companies suffered a devastating blow, and few were lucky enough to survive.
The Red Army and the Gui Army who were fighting fiercely on the opposite mountain stopped the fight at the same time, and they all looked at the big explosion in surprise. Wang Zanbin, the commander of the 44th Division of the Gui Army who was observing the attack with a telescope at the command post, collapsed on the ground, and the defender
Chen Shuxiang, the commander of the Red 34th Division, shouted excitedly: "Great, hurry up and find out which unit killed Baigouzi's artillery. I want to take credit for them!"
When Liu Yimin ran back to the woods where the Red Army troops were hiding, the soldiers were crawling behind a rock to watch the luxurious fireworks display of artillery bomb explosions over Xinwei. Wang Dahu hugged Liu Yimin excitedly and kept saying, "That's great,"
Great. Liu Yimin shouted in a low voice: "Stop talking, form a line, and retreat quickly. When the enemy reacts, we won't be able to leave." Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the explosion, the group quietly retreated to the main peak, Guanyin Mountain.
